Frequently asked questions
When is the right time to ask for the sale?
When you've stacked two or more buying signals (verbal, behavioral, or nonverbal) within 60 seconds. If you're waiting for the buyer to volunteer 'where do I sign,' you're going to lose the deal to whoever asked first.
Should I use urgency at the close?
Real urgency, yes. Fake urgency, never. Real urgency comes from the buyer's own timeline (a renewal date, a launch, a budget cycle). Fake urgency (artificial deadlines, made-up bonuses) trains buyers to wait you out.
How do I close without sounding pushy?
Down-inflect on the close, name the next two steps, then stop talking. Pushy is what reps sound like when they fill silence. Confident is what reps sound like when they let it sit.
